Hey, I started my coaster last weekend. I just now have enough built for a thread so here it is. It uses a tom-cat launch and Jumpge's original top hat on his Turbine. The structure of his is the same, but the track work is a bit different. So i'll shut up now and give you the pics.

Test 1: YouTube - The Walking Dead Launch Test 1
Test 2: YouTube - The Walking Dead Launch Test 2
Test 3: YouTube - The Walking Dead Launch Test 3
Test 4: YouTube - The Walking Dead Launch Test 4
Test 5: YouTube - The Walking Dead Launch Test 5

Am I just seeing things or is that perfect?
This totally makes your other rides suck compared to this!

It depends on what style your going for here. If it's a Premier than it looks pretty good. If it's supposed to be more like Hypersonic a an S&S Arrow than it need to be pointier.

Was that comment really necessary? Really. I'm using those names so I can do some Kick As...Butt theming.
Pyro: That is theming to the show The Walking Dead just so you dont have to hurt your mind thinking of that.

your shaping is great, except for a few sharp spots. The reason of this is because you do not layer your flexies, do this and it'll be better :)

By layering do you mean not have both flexis end in the same spot?

Still has the same sharp spots. Try taking off all of the pullout connections except for the last one, shap it, and then support it. It really helps.

Comment!
I will probably get you guys a test video later today as I need to replace the launch cord. That last section will be removed as I dont need it. Up next is a turn and an airhill under the tophat.

^I think that the pullout is way to small, and also, I see a sharp spot right after the orange flexi. Fix those and you're golden!

I think I fixed the sharp spot. The pullout doesn't look too small to me.
